Hey all, Ive just seen this on Slashdot....quite interesting and good to see really. <SLASHDOT RIP> An unnamed correspondent writes: "Typically, rural areas in Australia have been left behind when it comes to adopting new technologies, inlcuding the Internet. GrowZone Online is a Linux powered, non-profit ISP that has over 40 points of presence covering an area of 412,000 square kilometers across South Central Queensland, Australia. What was achieved by the small technical team is quite remarkable, including hacking pppd to support Radius Authentication, MicroSoft CBCP Client-Server support with Radius Integration as well as Idle and Session Timeout functionality. The article <http://linuxworld.com.au/article.php3?aid=56&tid=2> is at LinuxWorld.com.au <http://linuxworld.com.au> under Enterprise." A 7-man team that's dealt with such a distributed network's administration while hacking pppd deserves some recognition. Note to Americans: 412,000 square kilometers is about 3/5 the size of Texas. </SLASHDOT RIP> -------------------------------------------------------- This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential.
